Chapter 109: Buying the Neighboring Grocery Store

"Buy another store?" Cai Dongmei was a little surprised.

She looked around her small shop. It was indeed not very big. There was a stove at the door, which made the area inside the shop even smaller. There was only room for a few tables.

Before, she sold breakfast by herself, and there were not many customers in the store, so she didn’t feel that the store was small. But now that Ye Muqi came to the store, the business is getting better and better.

"Okay." Cai Dongmei nodded. The place outside the store was full of people. It would be even better if they could rent another store.

But it would definitely cost a lot of money to open another store...

Although she has earned a lot recently, Cai Dongmei has used most of it to buy medicine for her grandson, so it may not be enough.

"Xixi." Cai Dongmei thought for a moment and looked at Ye Muxi seriously. "The business in this shop is all thanks to you. I actually thought about it a few days ago. From now on, the breakfast shop will be handed over to you. You will be the boss. You can decide what to do. I have no opinion."

Cai Dongmei thought about it. She is old now. If it weren’t for Ye Muqi, she could only make some wontons and sell them to earn enough for living expenses.

"I may not have enough capital. You can see how much it costs to buy the store. If the money is not enough, we can change it to splitting the profits according to the money taken out later." Cai Dongmei said to Ye Muqi sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll go ask after I close the store." Ye Muqi nodded without any pretense and agreed directly.

Ye Muqi did not refuse Cai Dongmei's offer to make her the boss. After all, she was almost the boss of the store now.

Even though he is the boss, Ye Muqi will still discuss matters with Cai Dongmei, and it will be no different from now.

…

After selling lunch and cleaning up the store at noon, Cai Dongmei picked up the reserved vegetables, said goodbye and left.

"Xixi, shall we get ready to go back?" Yang Liwen called her after seeing that everything was fine in the store.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the canteen next door to ask, it might be a little late." Ye Muqi responded while walking towards the canteen.

Yang Liwen was not in a hurry. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she followed Ye Muqi over.

"Boss, are you going to transfer your store?" Ye Muqi came to the canteen next door and asked directly as soon as he entered.

The owner of the canteen is a middle-aged woman who looks very kind. She will smile whenever someone comes into the store. Even though she knows that Ye Muqi is not here to buy anything, she still keeps smiling.

The boss glanced at Ye Muqi. The breakfast shop was right next to it. She knew it and had even eaten there.

"Yes, come in and take a look." The boss invited Ye Muqi into the store.

The canteen is not big, but compared to Cai Dongmei's breakfast shop, it is still quite big, almost the size of two breakfast shops. It's just that the inside is filled with shelves, so it looks a bit crowded.

However, if these shelves were cleared away, the store would still be quite spacious, and Ye Muqi was quite satisfied with it.

The canteen owner was not worried that Ye Muqi would not be able to afford the rent. After all, she knew how good the breakfast shop business was.

"Your shop is pretty good, why do you suddenly want to sell it?" Ye Muqi asked the boss after reading it.

There are factories and residential areas nearby, so the flow of people is quite large. If you open a small shop here, even if the business is not very good, you can still make some profit.

"My son will be taking the college entrance examination soon. Actually, the business of this convenience store is quite average. I have to spend a lot of time in the store every day, and I don't have much time to accompany him... At this time, I still want to spend more time with my son, and hope that he can get into a good university." The proprietress said directly without any hesitation.

If it weren't for her son taking the college entrance examination, the boss lady probably wouldn't have transferred the canteen.

"Oh..." Ye Muqi nodded, and asked some more questions about the store's situation and prices. After confirming that the store had no debt disputes and the price was good, he directly made a deal with the boss.

"Let's go through the transfer procedures in the next two days, and this store will be yours in a few days." Seeing Ye Muqi's straightforwardness, the proprietress was also very happy.

Ye Muqi paid a deposit and signed a transfer agreement with the boss.

If the store can expand its operations, it can add more items, and won't it be able to make more money?

"Boss, thank you for clearing out the things in the store these few days. I will hurry up and set up the store once the transfer is completed." Ye Muqi said to the boss's wife.

She didn't want to waste time. If this could be done sooner, they could start business earlier.

Besides, it is getting colder day by day. Ye Muqi thinks that if it is prepared earlier, customers who come to the restaurant to eat will not have to eat outside.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely clear out the things quickly and won't delay you." The boss agreed immediately. Since the place was transferred, she would definitely move in as soon as possible.

Ye Muqi was very efficient. Yang Liwen glanced at the time and saw that it took less than an hour from the time they entered the store to the time the deal was concluded. The main reason was that Ye Muqi was very straightforward and did not bargain too much on the price, so both parties were quite happy.

After the deal was done, Yang Liwen thought about how generously Ye Muqi had just paid the deposit, and when she mentioned the price for the store, Ye Muqi didn't even blink.

Ye Muqi has only been in Beijing for less than a month, but now he has been able to buy a store. He must have made a lot of money.

Yang Liwen was in the store and could see how much money this breakfast shop made, but she didn't expect it to be so profitable.

Looking at Ye Muqi's age again, Yang Liwen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart. He was so good at making money at such a young age. She felt that all the years before that were really wasted.

Now I really need to work hard to learn cooking from Ye Muqi, and strive to be like Ye Muqi. I don’t expect to earn as much as Ye Muqi, but it would be great if I could earn money on my own!

Yang Liwen silently encouraged herself in her heart and became more serious about learning cooking.

The two of them went back after finishing the transfer, an hour later than usual, but they arrived at the family compound at around 4:30.

Not long after Ye Muqi arrived home, Rong Jingchen also returned from the army. Seeing Ye Muqi still cooking in the kitchen, he walked into the kitchen, washed his hands and prepared to help.

"Jingchen, guess what I did today?" Like other couples, Ye Muqi wanted to share anything that happened with her boyfriend as soon as possible.

"What's the matter? Is the business in the store good today?" Rong Jingchen thought about it and knew that Ye Muqi was so happy, it must be related to making money.

"...Business in the store has always been good!" Ye Muqi said, "I rented the small shop next to the breakfast shop today, and the store can be expanded immediately!"
